Why do I feel this way? Well I went and looked at a new Big Foot and I couldn't justify paying anywhere near the $50K sticker price even though we did consider it. We did however end up buying a Jayco Jayfeather Select 29L which is still fiberglass composite at least. Not to worry the 77 Ventura is still with us just needs some love and a new door. And will get used for short weekend trips.We started a 30 day tour today

This is exactly what I was telling my Shirley, this morning, while having coffee. What I enjoy the most about the Fiberglass Forums, and having a Casita, BF, Escape, Scamp, Boler, etc, etc, is the sense of community and "culture" that comes with all that. Just because you have an SOB (Some Other Brand) doesn't mean that you, or anyone else, can't be a part of all this. So, in my opinion, enjoy, and stay involved.

Those were the words I was told when I couldnt find an Egg in time for my trip and bought Ed's T@b. I havent felt any less welcome or slighted b/c I'm not a glass owner...yet. I see how folks end up with more than 1 trailer now, lol. I LOVE the T@b with it's open floorplan, loads of storage and KING bed but dont see it sleeping 4 very comfortably esp when 2 are kicking and elbowing the stuffins out of ya. An Egg with bunks would be great for when we're all together and e'body has their own sleeping areas and more privacy for the porta potti cuz the Egg layout allows for a curtain to be strung across the center. But, when it's just me and Hubby or just me and the girls, the T@b is perfect.

Hey Andy,
Don't feel bad. We were looking at the R-Pod 17'--the queen sized bed & toilet were pretty tempting. The only thing holding us back was the size of the tow vehicle we'd need to get. In the end we decided smaller was better for us but that's certainly not everybody's choice
Stick around this forum and keep us posted on your travels.

Thanks for the kind words every one. We're keeping the Ventura for short hops and possibly tu use when going to car shows.
We "camped" in Regina last night. Can you call it camping when your rig has everything ? I've lived in smaller appartments

Of course you can, it's about the adventure not what your staying in during the adventure. Having "camped" in a 35 ft Class A for years I say you can camp in anything that meets your needs for camping. It's all about personal needs/wants.

When I bid on that 1960 Serro Scotty Sportsman on eBay and I watched the clock tick down and then realized I won I thought, "Well, gotta leave FGRV now cause this definitely ain't fiberglass!" It's my first camper and I haven't even picked it up yet but I feel better about the forum here since I read all the nice responses you received Andy (and Melissa with your cool T@B).

I may get up there to W.Va and find leaks or rot (in which case I wouldn't tow it home). Then I'll keep scouring the ads and hope to find the 13' Scamp I was really wanting.

Absolutely Dave! BUT, for those that don't have molded trailers, ya gotta know when you ask questions that are specific to stickies.... I'm going to point you to forums that can best answer your questions, like IRV2.com and the Open Road forums on RV.net.
